Legacy and Vision for the Future
Cube Group’s history and legacy stand as a testament to its commitment to public value and sustainable change. Founded by Ben Schramm in 2002—born from the need for a values-based management consultancy—the firm began as a small group of former big 5 consultants and public sector executives. Today, the project continues to build on its strong heritage, remaining Australian owned and operated while expanding its influence across sectors. The results have been impressive: intricate projects in stakeholder management and communications have helped elevate community engagement, and a steadfast refusal to work with organisations solely focused on shareholder value underscores the sincerity at the heart of this work. This approach, interwoven with dynamic strategy and efficient report writing, captures the essence of not only meeting but exceeding the expectations of public value consulting.
